Insomniac Games makes full use of the PS5 for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and the game features tons of improvements over its predecessor.
Insomniac became associated with PlayStation consoles from an early age of their existence as a company. The Spyro games started as PlayStation exclusives and their sequel platformer series, Ratchet and Clank, became entirely exclusive to PlayStation. Then, in 2018, they made big waves as they released their first game starring everyone’s favorite web-slinging hero via Marvel’s Spider-Man.
They then released a standalone sequel starring Miles Morales, which was a launch game for PS5. Five years later a proper sequel is here, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, to shake things up. What improvements has Insomniac made since the first game and Miles’ solo adventure? There are too many to name, but let’s run down the biggest changes at least. 7 Two Spider-Man Heroes
Miles was in the first game, but he only just got his powers. He became playable as a Spider-Man in his solo game, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, but Peter was absent on a mission across the seas with Mary Jane for a much-needed getaway from New York City.
Prequels aside, at long last Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 brings Peter and Miles together as a joint team to stop crime in New York City. The game lacks co-op disappointedly, but it was still great to see their two storylines intertwine with each other. 6 More Varied Powers
Most of the powers Peter had in the first game were web-related. In Miles’ solo adventure, he had some cool shock abilities, but they were made even cooler in in this new sequel. That’s because both heroes get spliced with villains to create a new set of powers.
